Just a reminder, this Sunday is April 1st, the day we celebrate the gullibility of others.

From Ten best April Fool’s Day Hoaxes:

– In 1998, a newsletter titled New Mexicans for Science and Reason carried an article that the state of Alabama had voted to change the value of pi from 3.14159 to the “Biblical value” of 3.0

– Discover Magazine announced in 1995 that a highly respected biologist, Aprile Pazzo (Italian for April Fool), had discovered a new species in Antarctica: the hotheaded naked ice borer. The creatures were described as having bony plates on their heads that became burning hot, allowing the animals to bore through ice at high speed — a technique they used to hunt penguins.

Ah, youtube, the perfect way to advertise weird little products with viral ads.

I present you, twirl a squirrel:
